quick list of early pros and cons vs modded g25
pros
feels much sturdier, less toylike
forcefeedback is smooth and just in a different league, although you'd expect that for the price
lots of buttons on the wheel
pedals with the included brake mod fitted are equal to a modded g25 set (nixim brake mod, bodnar cable)
quieter than g25 (so far)
cons
pedals are HEAVY, good for use but tiresome to move around
wheel clamp is kinda lame and certainly not quick release like g25
paddle shifters feel like the weakest part of the package, don't care about them not moving, they just feel weak/cheap
very impressed overall, certainly a big step up wheel wise, pedals are about the same as my old setup which was a nice surprise. the paddle shifters let it down a tad but a th8 shifter is now high on my list of priorities because i think i can live without clubsport pedals for quite a while
